Fascism is an authoritarian and nationalist political ideology which seeks to create a totalitarian one-party state that is organized around a strong leader. It seeks to unify the nation through a collective identity based around traditional values, aggressive nationalism, and strict control of citizens. It holds contempt for democracy and human rights, and glorifies war and militarism.
